Resilience renaissance? Unpacking of resilience for tackling climate change and disasters
SCR discussion paper 1:
This paper describes the term 'resilience' used in the context of discussion, policies and programming around climate change adaptation ('adaptation') and disaster risk reduction (DRR), and reviews academic conceptualisation of this concept in social, ecological and socio-ecological systems. Using 16 overlapping conceptualisations of resilience from the literature, it outlines key characteristics and indicators of resilience, and captures the key findings, including detail on indicators, in a meta-table.
